Episode synopsis
While escorting the priceless Star of India ruby across India, Pitfall Harry, Rhonda, and Quickclaw are ambushed by a gang of thieves working for the notorious villain known only as The Spider. A mysterious clasp left behind leads the trio deep into the jungle, where they infiltrate the Spider’s hidden temple disguised as his henchmen. Inside, they uncover a massive operation—and a giant pet spider—designed to eliminate intruders and steal the ruby for good. Captured and nearly fed to the monstrous creature, the team must improvise their way out using quick thinking, teamwork, and a bit of slapstick luck. In the end, they recover the ruby, defeat the Spider, and turn him over to the authorities… only to discover that even villains have baby spiders waiting in the wings.
